Agenda

Directors, C-Suites, and General Counsel are increasingly focusing on the heightened expectations & risk around compliance – a critical aspect to every business operation. Mistakes can seriously heighten corporate and personal liability. Not only do the DOJ and SEC have an impact on compliance, but state and local regulators – particularly in New York – are also intensely overseeing compliance initiatives and ethics of financial services institutions and other industries.

Our Distinguished Panel will provide an overview of key DOJ, SEC, and state regulatory issues in financial services and other industry compliance, as well as how corporate leaders can ensure practical actions are taken on issues such as:

  • Prosecutors’ heightened expectations of internal investigations
  • Assessing pre-incident compliance programs
  • Elements of effective remediation
  • Increasing expectations around “big data” and transaction monitoring
  • Avoiding, selecting, and interfacing with government-imposed monitors
  • Trends and patterns in securities litigations and government enforcement actions

The Directors Roundtable Institute is a not-for-profit which organizes worldwide programming for Directors and their advisors.
